Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the intersection of cultural dynamics, political struggle, and ecological process in particular places through the theoretical lens of political ecology. In addition to exploring the foundations of political ecology in social theory, we will investigate the way cultural and political negotiations over the meanings of "nature" mediate human-ecological interaction in case studies from around the world and the implications such knowledge may have for practical solutions to contemporary problems such as climate change, natural disaster, and resource degradation.
